Question

Use Euler's Method to calculate the approximation of where is the solution of the initial-value problem that is as follows.

Answer

Using Euler's Method for the function

first make the substitution of

$\y'=u \u'=-xu-y$

therefore

where represents the step size.

Let

$\h=0.1 \y_0=2 \u_0=3$

Substitute these values into the previous formulas and continue in this fashion until the approximation for is found.

$\y_1=y_0+(0.1)u_0=2+(0.1)(3)=2.3 \u_1=u_0+(0.1)[-x_0u_0-y_0]=3+(0.1)[0(2)-2]=2.8 \y_2=y_1+(0.1)u_1=2.3+(0.1)(2.8)=2.58 \u_2=u_1+(0.1)[-x_1u_1-y_1]=2.8+(0.1)[-0.1(2.8)-2.3]=2.542$

Therefore,

$y(0.2)\approx2.58$

Question

Approximate $y(\pi)$ for $y = \cos(y)(2-y)$ with time steps $h = $\frac{\pi}{4}$$ and .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Approximate $y(\pi)$ for $y = \cos(y)(2-y)$ with time steps $h = $\frac{\pi}{4}$$ and .

The formula for Euler approximations $\mu(t+h) = \mu (t) + h \cdot f(t, \mu(t))$ .

Plugging in, we have

$\mu($\frac{\pi}{4}$) = \mu (0) + $\frac{\pi}{4}$f(0, \mu(0)) = 0 + $\frac{\pi}{4}$(\cos(0)(2-0)) = $\frac{\pi}{2}$$

$\mu($\frac{\pi}{2}$) = \mu ($\frac{\pi}{4}$) + $\frac{\pi}{4}$f($\frac{\pi}{4}$, \mu($\frac{\pi}{4}$)) = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ + $\frac{\pi}{4}$(\cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)(2-$\frac{\pi}{2}$)) = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ + 0 = $\frac{\pi}{2}$$

Here we can see that we've gotten trapped on a horizontal tangent (a failing of Euler's method when using larger time steps). As the function is not dependent on t, we will continue to move in a horizontal line for the rest of our Euler approximations. Thus $\mu(\pi) = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ \approx y(\pi)$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In the implicit method, the amount to increase is given by $h \cdot $f(t_{i+1}$, $y_{i+1}$)$ , or in this case $\mu_i = $\mu_{i-1}$+ 1 \cdot (5\mu_i)$ . Note, you can't just plug in to this form of the equation, because it's implicit: $\mu_i$ is on both sides. Thankfully, this is an easy enough form that you can solve explicitly. Otherwise, you would have to use an approximation method like newton's method to find $\mu_i$ . Solving explicitly, we have $-4\mu_i = $\mu_{i-1}$$ and $\mu_i = $-$\frac{\mu_{i-1}$$}{4}$ .

Thus, $y(1) \approx \mu_1 = -$\frac{4}{4}$ = -1$

$y(2) \approx \mu_2 = -$\frac{-1}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$$

$y(3) \approx \mu_3 = -$\frac{\frac{1}{4}$}{4} = -$\frac{1}{16}$$

Thus, we have a final answer of $-$\frac{1}{16}$$

Question

Use two steps of Euler's Method with on

Answer

Euler's Method gives us

Taking one step

$y_1 = y_0 + (0.1)x_0$\sqrt{y_0}$ = 4 + (0.1)(1)$\sqrt{4}$ = 4.2$

Taking another step

$y_2 = y_1 + (0.1)x_1$\sqrt{y_1}$ = 4.2 + (0.1)(1.1)$\sqrt{4.2}$ \approx 4.425$
